Transcarpathians

Day 1

You arrive in Lviv – the biggest city of Western Ukraine and cultural capital of the country. The city has a rich and eventful history as different nations made their contribution to its development. This obviously imparted the city with wide cultural diversity. The whole city center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. During our guided tour, we explore the diversity of architectural styles of Lviv churches and courtyards, visit Armenian and Jewish quarters, Rynok Square and famous Opera House.

Day 2

Today, we reach Carpathians by train. We are now in an ethnographic region, which is very interesting from the historical perspective, the so-called country triangle Ukraine-Poland-Slovakia. At the railway station of Syanki, we are picked up and then we get on our bikes in order to take on the first stage of our trip. At first we go steeply up till we reach Uzhok pass. Then, we go easily down through Uzhansky National park. In the village Uzhok, we visit Boyko wooden church of St. Michael the Archangel, built in 1745, which now is on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List. The final point of our today’s destination is village Kostryna.

Day 3

Very picturesque destination awaits us today. We ride along Uzh through beautiful mountainous valleys. In the morning, we visit in Kostryna 300-year-old wooden church.
